An architectural and sculptural metalworkers has been awarded a major contract for an art installation in a northern town.

Ulverston-based CB Arts was recently awarded the contract to deliver the new public art scheme in Doncaster.

Doncaster Council awarded the contract as part of a wider regeneration to transform the forecourt and station entrance into an open, vibrant, welcoming and easily accessible new arrival point for visitors.

Chris Brammall, who founded CB Arts, will design 47 steel totems to celebrate engineering, speed and connectivity.

Stretching 40 metres the pieces are intended to pay homage to Doncaster’s past, present and future.

The installation will also consist of a fountain and three water walls and take centre stage for people leaving the train station to head into the town centre.

“We are thrilled to win this major contract with Doncaster Council which is a real boost to our portfolio of public art works across the country," said Chris.

"The artwork design embraces the history and heritage of locomotive engineering in Doncaster and combines my passion for metalwork, engineering and construction and these elements bring strength and scale in the design.

"The public art is something locals can be proud of as well as offering a landmark welcome for visitors arriving into the town.”

Ros Jones, Mayor of Doncaster, said: “This public art reflects our history and our future and will be a real statement piece when people arrive in Doncaster by train.

"It celebrates our rich rail and horse racing heritage which are still important for the town today and will be in the future.”

The Doncaster artworks are due for installation towards the end of the year.
